Seems weird the reason they aren't keeping widely popular movies is that their main rivals (cable and other subscription platforms) have them and people can see them there.
No, this move makes sense. Currently, Netflix and Amazon Prime share a lot of movies, which doesn't give them any competitive advantage. With this move, they will free up a lot of capital to invest in their own original content that won't be available on any other platform. Win.

It makes business sense to a degree, but it's not necessarily a "win" though. It's only a win if their content stays at a premium level, and thus they keep people interested. if their shows start dipping in quality, people won't be as interested in their new programming (which is what they're spending that saved capital on).
So while it will likely be a win for them, at least in the short term, that all depends on if they can keep the quality of programming up.
